Find Out Why CrossFit Is Being Sued by a Transgender Athlete

The CrossFit Games, coming up on July 25 (regionals are already underway!) are hands down one of the most challenging competitions on earth -- and they attract diehard CrossFit fans from all around the world.

But one fan who won't be competing in the games is personal trainer Chloie Jonsson, of Los Gatos, Calif., who has reportedly sued CrossFit for $2.5 million for violating her civil rights.

The fitness company rejected her plea to compete in the women's division of the upcoming Games because she was physically born a boy. Thus, they say, she must compete in the men's division. And Jonsson, who is recognized as a woman by the State of California and who says she underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2006, responded by filing a lawsuit on grounds of discrimination.

We've reached out to CrossFit for commentary and will update once we hear!

What do you think -- should Jonsson be allowed to compete as a woman? Let us know what you think in comments below!
